Whoaa! Where has the time gone!?

Hello my loves! Its been a longgg while since I have posted; everything has just been so busy! I have started my Fall Semester at Ball State as a sophomore (scary, I know) as an online student for now. I'm going back on campus for the Spring, which is in January. Some new things are happening as of now such as starting my OWN YouTube channel! Guess what the topics are....yep! You guessed it! Fashion, hairstyles, nail and skin care, I mean the whole 9 yards! As an aspiring Fashion Designer & Merchandiser, I thought it was time to tap into my interests and get things rolling! From this day forward, I will be going nonstop in everything I do. I plan to graduate on time and post graduation move to California or New York, which ever my career takes me. I'm entering my 20s next month (Yes, I knowww, scary!), so I decided it was time for me to become more serious about my aspirations. We have entered November so that means my next post will be my amazing monthly wishlist. I promise I will try to post more often and avoid these "months at a time" gaps. Keep your head up and that incredible smile on your face!


God Bless,
Tori xoxo (:

Shopping. My Weakness.

I am obsessed with shopping. Yep, I said it! I probably need to go to rehab (: Anywho, I was browsing the web for some new fashions I could possibly add to my wardrobe this coming year. Hmm...my birthday is in a few months!

God Bless,
Tori xoxo (:

My August Wishlist.

As school is right around the corner, this month's wishlist will be things that I want for this upcoming school year! As this is my sophomore year at Ball State University, I have most of everything I "need," so therefore this year will mostly be about what I "want." Now, don't get me wrong, I am always about saving a dollar or two, EVEN IF I'm a shopaholic (: Take a look, you may want a few things yourself! 

God Bless,
Tori xoxo

"Give a girl the right shoes, and she can conquer the world."

Yes, I am a girl. A girl who happens to be in love...with S H O E S! I do love every part of fashion, but I believe that shoes are what make the outfit (: I'll probably have more than one post on the topic, but I thought that it would only be appropriate that I get a head start on it! I have many favorite shoe designers, but the one who tops the list is: CHRISTIAN LOUBOUTIN. If you are clueless about who this man is, GOOGLE HIM! He is based out of Paris, France, with stores all over the world. His designs are amazing; quite pieces of art. Many celebrities, such as Katy Perry, Rihanna, Oprah, and Halle Berry wear them and I will be in a few years (: My dad is always asking if I want him to buy me a pair, but I always told him that I wanted to be able to say, "I bought my very first pair of Louboutins." They are most known as the shoe with the red sole and the high price, sometimes as high as $1400. Although you mostly see his pumps and boots displayed (which are my fave), he also creates flats and kitten heels. Despite the height on his shoes, celebrities have said that they are very comfortable. In the past 2-3 years, I have read he has made a 8 inch heel! Mind bloggling isn't it!? I told my mom that one day I am going to call her out of the blue and tell her to pack her bags for a month because we're going to Paris! Yes, I could buy them in New York, California, Las Vegas, even right in Troy, Michigan...but I want to buy my first pair where they originated. Yes...I do have high expectations of this (: Why don't you take a look at a few of his creations. You may be inspired to buy a pair yourself! 

God Bless,
xoxo Tori (:

Can we say the word, HOT?

IN LOVE with the bow on the back (:


A blog...huh?


Hello all! Since my life has become a never ending roller coaster ride, I have decided to share it with you (: People who know me know that I am the busy type of a person, who always is busy, who likes to stay busy, and doesn't know anything else but busy. I am very involved with my community, church, and school, having a GIANT heart for volunteering, pageantry, modeling, acting, and fashion. I am currently a sophomore at Ball State University located in Muncie, Indiana where I am majoring in fashion merchandising and double minoring in marketing and dance. Yes, that is my fourth major thus far, while studying at BSU...typical freshman year, huh? (: I JUST crowned my successor as National American Miss Michigan Teen 2010 and am now getting ready for the National Pageant for my other title as Miss Sparkle Success Michigan 2011 - 2012. Super exciting!! In addition to my pageantry life, I also work as a Performing Arts Instructor for a summer program my hometown is having, entitled A.S.P.I.R.E. This summer, working with these kids, has been A M A Z I N G. I have been dancing since I was the age of 9, mostly of the modern and lyrical dance style, most recently adding to the list hip hop, ballet, and jazz. I have never been to a formal dance school which may have some people confused as I have taught myself the ins and outs. Despite this, I am planning to take classes other than the ones I have at BSU so far. Whelp, I think this about sums up my first post. I hope you are looking forward to reading about my BUSY life! 

God Bless, 
xoxo Tori (:
